Connecticut College

Connecticut College is a coeducational, private liberal arts college located in New London, Connecticut. Founded in 1911, it was a women's school until 1969. It is located just up Route 32 from the United States Coast Guard Academy. Across the Thames River which the college's crew and sailing teams practice on, is the city of Groton.

Flaws

• You need a car if you are a student here. You'll need one if you don't want to ask for a ride each time you want to watch a movie (closest cinemas are in Waterford and Groton), go to a shopping mall (Crystal Mall in Waterford) or Walmart/Target.
• Very homogeneous student body. Conn's students are mostly preppy, WASPy and come from the Northeast.
• The college is obviously enrolling more students than it can sustain. The results: overcrowded dorms with TV rooms turned into quads for freshmen and difficulty to register for many courses.
• Fitness center is tiny and always crowded. It is about 10 minutes walk from the dorms, which can be a pain on the frequent snowy days. Another slant is that it's a nice walk on snowy days, or a little extra EXERCISE seeing as you're going to the GYM!
• Horrible e-mail and network servers. Always down or being 'upgraded'.
